In the still of the night You can hear the engine moan Soon you know the bell will toll Another soul will die alone
Like a tsunami Leaving destruction in its wake It is relentless as it rolls down the track With the lives it will take
Like a story from the twilight zone Or something evil from a witches spell In your ear you hear the deathly screams From the deepest depths of hell
As the clock strikes midnight You hear the whistle blow You look in the sky and see The moon in an eerie glow
Then you hear a sound you’ve Never heard and you can’t explain A dark and deep devils growl And a man screech in pain
You feel a strong breeze come over you And it’s hotter than the Suns mid day heat You look down and see a mans Head roll from the hill to your feet
It’s a living nightmare that leaves You with a heavy chilling fear You will forever dread the night And any train whistle you hear
For you know as sure as there’s A heaven above evil will also reign Because you witnessed first hand The legend of the death train

In honor of a poem I posted Midnight train written in 2016 I thought I would try to write something new But with a familiar haunt. Train whistles are lonely and eerie and so I hope I did it justice. I just wrote this. It was after one am changed title
